About this listen

Experience the bone-chilling terror of Ambrose Bierce's "The Damned Thing," a revolutionary horror tale that dares to imagine the unseen predator lurking just beyond human perception.

When a man is savagely killed in the wilderness, witnesses describe an invisible force that defies explanation—a creature that exists in colors beyond the human eye's capability. Bierce's masterful blend of scientific speculation and primal fear creates an atmosphere of inescapable dread that will haunt listeners long after they finish listening.

Written in 1893 yet remarkably ahead of its time, this short story showcases Bierce's unparalleled talent for psychological horror and his cynical view of human understanding. Dive into this classic tale of cosmic horror that inspired generations of writers and continues to terrify modern listeners with its disturbing implications about what might be watching us from the shadows.
